Abstract :
Dentinal Hypersensitivity is a relatively common painful condition described as short sharp pain usually in response to stimulus in areas of dentinal exposure. Dentinal hypersensitivity is not life threatening, but it can be a particularly unpleasant sensation for patients dictating types of food and drinks ingested. Once sensitivity has become established the pulp may become irreversibly sensitive. Treatment is therefore aimed at not only restoring the original impermeability of the tubules by occluding them, but also controlling the neural elements within the pulp to dampen the external stimulatory effects.
Mild and responsive dentinal hypersensitivity may be managed by less complex treatments such as Over the counter desensitizers and in office treatment be reserved for more severe recalcitrant cases. Clinicians should consider predisposing factors, removal of etiologic factors and dietary modifications to prevent recurrence. This article aims to inform practitioners on various management strategies for dentinal hypersensitivity.
